Very friendly hosts, seeing to all your needs.price is extremely good for all the comfort. Location is a bit far from any shops and restaurants, you will require a tuk tuk or pick me/uber.. However you can order food directly via the uber eats or pick me apps with speedy delivery. Would recommend to anyone!!

The breakfast was not the same each day, made from western and local dishes. Delisious. Organic fruits from the garden. Fresh coconut! The room and all the place were sparkling clean and comfortable. Very green, with a view, relaxing, birds, each time we were happy to go back there after sightseeing. The garden is beautiful and well cared for. Kumar was very, very helpful and friendly, he found a solution to every question that we asked him. Very clean and very good internet. He found to us aa very good driver and organised our trip to the next destination. One day we hope to come again, to enjoy the place and to see him again.

Edwin was an exceptional host! He was incredibly thoughtful, especially with our infant, and ensured milk was arranged in advance as requested. He provided excellent guidance on activities to do in Kandy, making our trip even more enjoyable. The breakfast was delightful, offering us a wonderful introduction to Sri Lankan cuisine. The property itself is charming, with a lovely garden that attracts adorable birds and squirrels, adding a touch of magic to the day. Edwin was highly responsive and quick to address any concerns, ensuring our stay was both comfortable and memorable.

    It's a very very charming boutique hotel. It has an Italian design. The manager speaks good English and knows what hospitality is. He organised everything for us, was genuine interested and made us feel very welcome. The breakfast is also good. And it's easy in this hotel to also meet other travellers (with families). The views from the hotel are stunning, it's a little bit out of the city center but therefore also nice and quiet.

    The lake view and quiet location are delightful in the morning. The guest house thrives primarily due to its two fantastic hosts, who took excellent care of me. Enjoying a beer and discussing politics with them was a warm and welcoming experience. The recommended dance show is truly worth attending, even though the audience is predominantly white.

    Our two hosts were remarkably friendly, attentive and helpful. While the accommodation is located on the outskirts of Kandy (and is thus very quiet - a big plus in our opinion), the city centre and all the major sights are easily reachable by tuktuk. Our corner room with a balcony had a beautiful view over the river and the surrounding countryside. The breakfast - especially the fresh fruit - was delicious, varied and more than we could eat.
